The indications now are that the far
mers will complain of being delayed in
planting corn on account of the wet
weather. However, a crop may be
planted here in June that will mature
before frost.
The hardware men report an UMPIRE

er preparation. Many claim that is the
best way to plant corn in this country.

have destroyed so much feed all over
the county. Monday night we had gem
tie showers lasting nearly all night, and
the hearts of the farmers were made to
rejoice.

the young man wore a mqstache and
"rammy." The first said it was either
opinion" or a ''cayote." The second
said it was either ''rammy' or a goat.
They finally referred the matter to n
gentleman friend, who explained the
